An economic sociologist once told me that “What Money Can’t Buy” is the best work of economic sociology in years… which to me is less a comment on the book and more a comment on the state of the field…

I don’t understand either of the previous comments, but would suggest that Titmuss’ work as a sociologist studying cited by Sandel, aligns with the lecturer’s conclusion that a system based on giving and altruism is superior to one premised on market or utility value alone.
